Question

Let's use the slope formula to find the slope of the line that goes through the

points (6,-3) and (1,7).

Answer 1

The answer is - 2

Explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

`m = ( y_2 - y _ 1)/(x_ 2 - x_ 1) \\`

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(6,-3) and (1,7)

The slope is

`m = (7 - - 3)/(1 - 6) = - (10)/(5) = - 2 \\`

We have the final answer as

- 2
